Covid 19: Nayanthara donates Rs 20 lakhs to FEFSI workers!

Several celebrities from the Tamil film industry have been offering financial assistance to the Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI) workers who are jobless due to the lockdown. RK Selvamani, the President of FEFSI had requested Kollywood celebrities to donate rice bags and money so that the association can provide basic requirements to nearly 15,000 workers. Upon his request many stars and filmmakers had made generous contributions.

However, there was a complaint about female actors not donating anything to help the workers. Aishwarya Rajesh and veteran actress Sripriya were the only ones to have done their bit. Nayanthara, fondly called as the lady superstar, has now offered financial assistance of Rs 20 lakhs. Inspired by Nayanthara, more female actors are expected to come forward to help the suffering workers.

Rajinikanth, Suriya, Karthi, Dhanush, Vijay Sethupathi, Prakash Raj, Parthiben, Shankar, Kamal Haasan, Hari, Kalaipuli S Thanu, Sivakarthikeyan and many others have provided money to support the workers. Some have also supplied rice bags and other raw materials.
